Challenges of Traditional Methods:

• Difficulty accessing informal or narrow areas, which complicates data collection and site assessments.
• Relying on traditional ground surveying methods can be time-consuming, especially in densely populated regions where movement is restricted.

• Urban planners, engineers, and municipalities work with fragmented, outdated data (data silos).
• Accurately assessing informal constructions is challenging. 

With Drone Technology:

• Urban Mapping & Master Planning – High-resolution 2D maps, 3D city models, and elevation data covering large areas quickly.
• Digital Twins for Smart Cities – 3D georeferenced digital twins of districts, roads, and infrastructure.
• Road & Highway Planning & Monitoring – Pavement condition maps, road surface models, clearance profiles.
• Bridge & Overpass Inspections – Crack detection, corrosion mapping, thermal stress analysis.
• Urban Utility Corridor Planning – Utility route optimization, clearance checks, and terrain analysis.
• Identifying encroachments and documenting informal construction.
• Construction Progress Tracking – autonomous project documentation for progress monitoring.
